Thank you for pinging me. Believe me I'm doing the rah-rah in my living room when I see everybody on TV. You guys rock! I am so sorry I can't join you all. I am nursing a busted right ankle.

May Congress be pwned next year by the American people. Amen!

All MSM networks gave surprisingly generous time to the story of today’s march on the evening news, considering the developments at Ft. Hood. PBS did the best job. The visuals were good, and the crowd size was obvious. They had many interview snippets with attendees. The main problem I saw with the coverage is that all covered the arrests and left the impression that the “protesters” were ours, not Code Pink or whatever they were.

There was a nasty looking frowning woman wearing a PRO-LIFE shirt, whose picture was on at least two of the broadcasts. My bet is she was a plant.

I see a familiar face in post #669 pictures.

These pictures remind me of the crowd at the Naval Observatory during the time of The Great Inconvenience.

Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism, by Bernardine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, Billy Ayers, Celia Sojourn - I think a backfire has been lit.

Nothing was changed. People had a nice trip and a nice visit.

FYI, you are a totally clueless clown.

Your understanding of how the US political system works is nonexistent.

Rather the come here pushing your dogma of preemptive surrender. Take off the mask and admit to us which Leftist propaganda group you work for. Moveon.org? Act Up? Acorn?

Either you are a Leftist pretending to be something you are not are you are a total political moron with utterly no clue at all how politics works in a Constitutional Republic.

Either way quit wasting our time with your utterly moronic, clueless drivel.

Look at the picture from 09-12. They give the lie to your Leftist blogger myths. Rather then repeating ignorant Leftist talking points, try actually thinking for yourself for once.

The photos from 09-12 prove you, and BOR’s, ignorance. And stop repeating the lies fed you by Leftist bloggers.

75,000 people do not fill the mall end to end. That takes hundreds of thousands.

Do you even know how BIG the Mall is?

Wake up and smell the crap you, and your ignorant clown idol BOR, are shoveling

LOOK at the 09-12 pictures for once instead of mindlessly repeating lies fed you by ignorant Junk Media clowns.

The facts are there for you to discover if you stop being too arrogantly stupid to see them.

I was at the House Call yesterday. I'd be surprised if there were fewer than 30,000, but I really wouldn't know how to estimate the crowd size. If you use the USA Today crowd estimator for the inaugural, it may have even been upwards of 50K. The west lawn of the capitol was full, and people were in the trees on either side, but, unlike 9/12, the crowd stopped short of the pool at the Grant Memorial (whereas, on 9/12 the crowd covered the whole lawn, engulfed the pool, spilled over across 3rd and a hundred yards into the mall, proper). Yesterday, it didn't cross the street that separates the lawn from the Grant memorial. So, bottom line: it was a huge crowd for a Thursday at noon and we should be proud!

One thing I thought was really amusing and ironic that hasn't been mentioned: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who was a BIG hit with the crowd. Whoever decided to use that for warm-up music is a genius!! Patriots were shouting the chorus! "We won't get fooled again!" HA!

This is the crowd estimator I was referring to.

The crowd at the House Call Teaparty filled probably 1/3 of the shaded area, on the west lawn that resembles a baseball playing field. That would suggest 30-40K, right? I guess it doesn't really matter that much, but it's fun to try and guess (unless someone flames you for your effort). . .

PRAYERS FOR THOSE MURDERED AND WOUNDED AT FT. HOOD.

We heard the news after leaving the Capitol and heading to a "Welcome Back Chris Plante" event. We went from excitement to disbelief and sorrow. So with a heavy heart I post some information from Thursday.

FYI - Chris Plante is a local DC radio host similar to Mark Levin who was taken off the air about 6 months ago and replaced by Joe (lib in Republican clothing) Scarborough. After many calls and emails Chris was brought back.

I’ve gather some links from FReepers who posted pics to this thread HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and

AND SPEECHES HERE and HERE and HERE.

Link to [Mrs] T’s pictures HERE for the Capitol and Chris's events. But some of my favorites are below.

BELOW: Cindy_True_Supporter, me and RongKirby We also saw Kburi, 2ndClassCitizen, GunsAreOK and TrueBlackMan. Many others were there but we never connected. Code Pinko Media ‘Susie’ Benjamin and motley crew were there.





BELOW TOP: Lines waiting to get into the Rayburn Building. The lines went all the way down the street and around the corner. BELOW BOTTOM: Lines waiting to get into the Longsworth Building.

The mall was not filled from end to end. The first one is NOT FOR THE 912 RALLY!!! It’s a false one that was circulating via email and posted here several times. Take a close look - it’s bright and sunny. The day of the 9-12 rally was overcast. There are megascreens in that picture. There were no megascreens on the Mall that day.

100,000 was my estimate that day and remains to this day. Your LIES AND FAKE PHOTOS not withstanding.

Re cancelling AARP membership — keep trying to call. I called and had no trouble months ago but clearly this is picking up more steam now. Don’t give up.

Kill AARP along with ‘the bill.’

He finally got through and asked the lady that answered the phone if she had been busy. She told him “No, the phones have been quiet today.” I think that was the last straw for him. He told her he kept getting cut off and he was on a quest to cancel his membership because he didn’t want to be a part of anything that supported this health care plan. She told him she would tell the “higher ups”.

Looking at the map, we easily filled up a quarter of the “240,000” shaded block in front of the Capitol steps. That puts us at 60,000. And then we were heavily scattered on the north and south bulges.

Plus, Cindy_True_Supporter was at the Muslim pray in and they were inside the walk area, and they were estimated at 50,000.

Those people got off their butts went out and did something to make a difference. That is how change is effected in a Constitutional Republic

You two do nothing but sit on your computers whining yet you have the arrogance to deride and misrepresent their efforts.

Shame on you both.
